For the 6th consecutive year, a 30-foot tall, traditional Christmas tree stands in the Parque Las Nereidas, across the street from La Concha Renaissance Resort, to usher in the holiday season, gifted by Renace Condado, a nonprofit, nonpartisan community action group dedicated to beautifying and improving the high-tourist zone, and co-sponsored by the Ashford Presbyterian Community Hospital.
In an unprecedented show of unity, members from different sectors of the Condado community came together this week in an old fashion sit in, on the sidewalk opposite the newly renovated Vanderbilt Hotel, to protest the clandestine installation of a 60-foot high, 20-foot wide, multisided, illuminated, mega billboard in a parking lot in the heart of the "Fifth Avenue of Condado," Ashford Avenue.
The owners of the Best Western Plus Condado Palm Inn & Suites officially marked the opening Wednesday of the $20 million property that is adding 151 new rooms to the heart of San Juan’s trendy Condado district.
